Amazing! It would be interesting to see how the Hallows fit into this.

Sophy, love, this was absolutely chilling! I've read plenty of apocalypse!au fics, but this was a new twist on it.

I adored the descriptions in the first section the most. They were so vague, and yet they set the scene so perfectly for the rest of the story. You also did an amazing job with your choice of which character would represent which Horseman. I was surprised to see Hermione as famine, but when you showed her constant hunger for knowledge, it fit so perfectly.

I'm usually not a fan of Harry, and so many dark!Harry fics are cliche, but I loved your Harry here. He was genuinely terrifying. I felt completely creeped out and unnerved by him. Really, all them, portrayed in such a way, leave me a little shaken.

I love the parallels you've drawn with canon. Ron and his chess, Hermione and her knowledge thirst, Neville and his plants... They were woven so beautifully into this!

My one issue is the ending, only because it's such a big cliffhanger. You answered most questions, but you ended it with such a huge one- who is it that Luna means? Who can defeat Harry? I hope you continue so I can have my answer!

This was certainly an interesting take on their childhoods. I especially liked Ron and Luna's. Ron's because of how you incorporated his genius for wizarding chess, and Luna's because of how you described her as "an idea, a concept as old as time".

When I saw a continuation for this story I immediately went to read it! I loved how you set up this AU, and how fitting were the characters to their role.
This new chapter was even better. In my opinion Ron's part was the best and Molly's inner struggle was amazingly well done. Her thoughts are short but flawlessly described, and you made me feel them too!
I looooooved Neville. How he experimented and how he knew when was the time to stop talking about how he felt. The correlation between pestilence and his love for herbology keeps being a well portrayed irony in how he withered the plants and then learned to care for them to create plagues.
Luna's part was perfect too, even if it was the shortest. I liked how you present death as a mere idea and not a real thing. The best part about Luna's section was how she felt the darkness sooner than the rest.
I fell in love with Hermione! I usually dislike her but you showed the best (hunger for knowledge) and the worst (her i subtle /i manipulation) in her.
I'll say again that I loved Ron's section. He does seem a warlike individual and all the chess imagery around him was amazing.

I knew that these outtakes would be awesome and I was right. This is even better than I imagined!

This is one of the most original things I've read in a long time. Including novels.
Your take on the Antichrist and his Horsemen is amazing and flawless. I loved Hermione *devouring* books and found the irony of Neville (the Herbology genius) withering plants quite funny.
I love this kind of dark AUs that left me wanting to read more on that world.
The last paragraph was perfectperfectperfect, but the last line was the best.

/I have no words.

This story has just left me speechless. It's utterly amazing and I love how you've used the characters.

Hermione's hunger for knowledge works for me... and mostly - Luna. Plus, I adore dark!Harry and he's so wonderfully dark.

Luna is just perfect as Death here. I have no words.

The flow was perfect, I like how you didn't rush through the story to get to Luna, you gave it time to build the story up with who they were and how they felt meeting etc.

The last line: just perfect. Who else would fight the anti-Christ?

I adored reading this. It was wonderfully dark and I noticed no mistakes!

This was so dark and interesting. I've never seen a take on Harry Potter quite like this and the way it ended left such an open ending. Luna's introduction was eery, yet just right for her character. I like how you kept their characteristics, even when they were being personified as others. I really enjoyed the story :)

This is fantastic. I honestly feel like I have no words to say things help. I just absolutely loved this. There were a few errors I saw but nothing major (typoing with 'that' instead of 'than' for example) and it really didn't detract from the story at all. Right now I'm wishing the series had actually been like this oml! Glad you kept in the whole rivalry with Voldy & overcoming certain obstacles like Dumbledore. Very well done and an amazing fic! Kudos :)

This was an interesting AU story and apocalypse setting for HP! You used a tremendous amount of creativity to make these familiar HP characters into almost antiheroes and turn them into the Four Horsemen and death/grim reaper of the apocalypse
It is a very dark story but interesting. Luna especially was dark as death, and I was fascinated by ron becoming war, hermione becoming famine, neville becoming pestilence and harry becoming the antichrist
You made a very dark interesting story here and I loved to see Hermione and her friends plotting the world's destruction :)

This is a very interesting and well thought-out story. I really like AUs that tie in canon events and make use of them, and you did that very well here. You create a very horror-like story here, and it's wonderful. Well done.

The prologue caught my attention - it's unique - and the concept was an interesting one. So I continued reading and found myself mesmerised. It's a fantastic "what-if" scenario.

FYI, I'm typing this review as I am reading your story.
I love your opening sentence. It's very intriguing and sets the mood perfectly. The following paragraph only emphasizes that.
I adore the theme with the four horsemen and the Antichrist as well as your choices for them! There is a typo, though. It's very minor, but in Luna's second paragraph you wrote "thy" instead of "they".
During the section i(Harry) I kept imagining that someone called Harry a demon or something similar and Harry just grinning because, yeah, that feels right.
These inserted lines/paragraphs in brackets and italics remind me of those in "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak. And that's one of my favorite books, so I mean that as a huge compliment.
Another thing I like about this is how Ollivander and the goblins know that Harry is not normal, but the rest remains totally oblivious.
There is the exorcism I was waiting for. I like how you tied that in.
Gryffindor: land of the sheep and home of the brave. You got that right.
Their reaction to the Horcruxes are perfect! I imagine that is like the worst offense/crime possible in their opinion.
I love Voldemort's punishment. Perfectly ironic!
I'd love to see a sequel of some sort where the infant fights Harry and his Horsemen (and Horsewomen, if you want to be technical, but they're so far beyond gender that it isn't even funny, if you ask me.)

I don't think an infinite amount of gold would sink the economy, since we don't use the gold standard anymore. What it would really do is crash gold markets, which would be bad for some, since many invest in gold when the economy is unstable (since gold is usually considered relatively stable), but for those who don't have investments in said companies... it probably wouldn't affect them to the level of 'destroying the world's economy in a single year'.

Ah well.

I love this idea
How did you think of it?
